Big Ten HQ moves moves to new Chicago suburb

October 14, 2013 (ROSEMONT, Ill.) -- The Big Ten Conference has a new $20 million headquarters in the Chicago suburbs that will eventually include an interactive museum.

The previous Big Ten headquarters were in a small building in Park Ridge. The Daily Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1gf3V6K) that about 40 employees moved into the new headquarters last month in Rosemont. Construction is continuing on a "Big Ten Experience" museum. It is expected to open to the public early next year.

The conference's offices were in Park Ridge for more than 20 years.

Big Ten deputy commissioner Brad Traviolia says the conference is "putting out a welcome mat" for visitors.

Officials estimate the facility will host about 130 meetings a year and clinics for up to 100 football and basketball officials.
